What AJMacD likes about Red Lion:
We hadn't planned anything and spotted a sign on the A38 for a riverside pub. So we decided to check it out. What a lovely location.

Now that we have been there we would definitely return on a sunny day for a riverside table. View all feedback. What GoDaddy99 doesn't like about Red Lion:
Had the mac n cheese and a veggie curry. Both pretty bland tbh. The poppadom came greasy and with no chutneys or dressings. And the curry portion itself, was small and with no flavour. Certainly no protein. Think vegetables in a curry paste. The mac... View all feedback.

Lovely views along the river but the food was very very disappointing. We have been coming to this pub for over 30 years and this is the worst meal we have had.
